Enrollment Open: Yoga Therapy Research, Online Course

 

ENROLL TODAY This course will help introduce students to the fundamentals of contemporary yoga therapy research, explore guidelines for yoga therapy research and practice, and survey the current and emerging body of knowledge within the peer-reviewed yoga therapy literature. Join us as Dr. Walling makes research inspiring and fun as we explore the intersections of scholarship and embodied practices. Yoga has always been heralded for its therapeutic and healing properties. Over the course of the last thirty years, it has evolved into specific applications of yogic tools (postures, breathwork, meditation techniques and more) to address individual physical, mental and emotional needs. Today throughout the world there are thousands of providers who identify as yoga therapists and nearly two hundred schools that train them in comprehensive clinical yoga therapy education programs that certify yoga therapists. The incorporation of integrative healthcare into modern medicine is ever the more dependent upon a shared understanding of how these ancient traditions may help advance the clinical outcomes of a number of health challenges which creates an urgent need to help advance the findings of an evidence-informed practice of yoga. This endeavor is of course creating a need for research literacy within yoga practitioners who seek to serve within a more integrated continuum of care.       Participants in this course will learn: To compare and contrast the various research methods and challenges of contemporary basic research and clinical yoga therapy research. To identify the ethical considerations of decolonizing interpretive research and the risks of cultural appropriation in clinical yoga therapy research. To explore the common variables from psychophysiology of basic research yoga studies. To identify the emerging experimental goals of yoga therapy research, and the new outcome measures in contemporary studies.
